REASONS TO GIVE UP SUGAR THIS SUMMER
Weight Gain. Contrary to popular opinion, all calories are not created equal! Calories from sugar have a unique ability to trigger your body’s “fat storage” mode, causing you to gain weight at an alarming rate. For example, when you drink a Dr. Pepper, those calories will immediately find their way onto your midsection, your arms, and even your thighs!
Increased Pain. Though scientists don’t fully understand why sugar is so toxic, there’s no question that perpetually high blood sugar can cause a great deal of pain. Though occasional “sugar highs” won’t kill you, they will make you more susceptible to increased discomfort, aches, and pains.
Weakened Immune System. If you’re wondering why you get sick so often, look no further than your pantry. Do you keep sugary sweets in stock? The refined sugar in these products wreaks havoc on the immune system. The ingestion of only 100 grams of refined sugar reduces the immune system’s function by 50% within two hours of eating!
Low Energy and Fatigue. Struggling to beat that mid-afternoon slump? Think about what you eat for breakfast. Eating too much sugar stresses your adrenal glands, depleting your energy reserves and making it more difficult to deal with stress throughout the day. This leaves you feeling lethargic, exhausted, and worn down.
Do yourself a favor and cut sugar out of your diet this summer. Your body will thank you!
